West District, Chiayi City｜慶昇小館

Harnessing the natural umami from its ingredients, 慶昇小館 has managed to take regular fried rice and transform it into something totally mind-blowing. Their 沙茶豬肉炒飯 (NT60) and 牛肉燴飯 (NT80) strike the perfect balance of flavours, textures and has a prominent note of 鍋氣 (or what we Singaporeans call *wok hei*). I appreciated how the scrambled eggs were embedded evenly in the rice allowing every bite to fill your mouth with generous eggy bits. Aside from the masterfully prepared fried rice, the chunky slices of pork and crisp morning glory vegetables were pretty darn delicious as well.

Cheap and delicious. Staffs is nice and friendly. There are English menu but no picture and no English speaking staff. Help yourself with dish, chopsticks, sauce and drink.

tasty!
